Into the wild!
Perched high above the bustling city of George Town, Habitat Penang Hill is a nature lover's paradise that'll make your heart skip a beat. This lush escape features a 1.6km nature trail, complete with suspended walkways and pocket gardens that showcase a variety of tropical plant species.
A true highlight of the experience is The Habitat, home to the stunning Langur Way Canopy that takes you across the world’s longest double-span ribbon bridge, offering a stellar view of the 130-million-year-old tropical rainforest and the sparkling Andaman Sea. Keep your eyes peeled for dusky leaf monkeys, flying lemurs, and if you're really lucky, maybe even a Sunda colugo!
The stunning biosphere reserve
The star of the show? That'd be the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk. The highest public viewpoint on the island, gives you a jaw-dropping 360-degree view of Penang. On a clear day, you can even spot the mainland! Talk about Instagram-worthy, am I right? For those seeking even more adventure, upgrade your experience with the Jane Goodall-approved Wild Immersion VR. Step into the world’s first virtual nature reserve, where you’ll find yourself hanging out with wildlife in their natural habitats, offering a unique and immersive glimpse into the life of the rainforest.
Penang Hill, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2019, is not just about scenic beauty. It's also steeped in history as one of Asia’s oldest hill stations, first established by British settlers. Getting there is an adventure in itself—hop on the iconic funicular railway, which has been operating for 100 years. Make the most of your visit by bringing the whole family and taking advantage of the Family Super Save tickets, which offer fantastic savings.
